14 Ways to Eat Vegan Smores

Celebrate National Smores Day with more than a dozen vegan ways to eat the classic campfire treat.

The Girl Scouts revolutionized campfire cooking when they combined chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers in one recipe. For that invention, we’re forever grateful and are celebrating National S’mores Day with a dozen plant-based treats full of the nostalgic ingredients. You won’t need a campfire to enjoy these recipes, but you’ll still relish mouthfuls of rich chocolate, creamy marshmallows, and crunchy graham cracker taste. Here are 12 of our favorite recipes for whenever we feel like visiting S’mores City.

1. Healthy No Bake S’mores CupsPeanut butter cups have some major competition thanks to these gooey, crunchy candies from The Big Man’s World. These healthy, no-bake treats provide all the tastes and textures of classic s’mores, and no one will believe they are gluten-free and vegan.
